    I can't really do anything with this bottling. I still find the nose with its fresh floral and honey-sweet aroma the most pleasant. On the palate, however, it loses me. Too alcoholic and one-dimensional. The aromas are only rudimentary. The finish is very short

    Very alcoholic. It comes across like a fruit brandy. Not a good rum for me, but an unfinished product.

    La base est bonne, mais c est dommage que lalcool de ce BDF ne soit pas assez bien intégré. Du coup au nez c est assez fermé par l alcool .on a du caramel/herbe, mais aussi un contraste vinaigré. En bouche l alcool reste présent et donne de la vivacité. Il y a du caramel au beurre, foin et du minéral. Finale en deux temps de la douceur caramel/herbe qui évolue en zeste d orange/minéral.

    Le nez nous frappe par sa puissance alcoolique. Normal, il chiffre à 59,7%. Mais il pique pas mal les bulbes olfactifs. On sent très nettement l'eau de vie et une forte puissance éthylique. On sent du massepain et il y a beaucoup de fraîcheur herbacée, avec cette canne corsée et cette odeur d'herbes coupées. Un peu de caramel pointe le bout de son nez. La bouche amène beaucoup d'oléagineux : de la noix de Grenoble, amande amère. Le tout dans cet alcool mal intégré. On retrouve ces accents très végétaux : du foin, de l'herbe coupée, avec quelques épices de cuisine. Franchement pas terrible. La finale est assez longue sur cette noix et un désagréable goût de carton. Je n'ai pas pris beaucoup de plaisir avec ce rhum.
